Blogging is common in the Internet world. It seems that everyone has something to say and blogs are the way to convey those thoughts. Some Internet marketers and entrepreneurs use blogs to make money through monetization strategies like AdSense, and this can be a nice way to bolster income. But blogging takes a great deal of time and energy, and the profits from blogging may not be that great compared to the effort the blog takes.
You might have a blog or two yourself. Maybe they even bring in money - and that's great! But if you're tired of blogging, do this instead: write an eBook! Say what you have to say once and sell it for a higher price point than some AdSense ads could rake in.
You probably know what an eBook is. You may have bought eBooks for yourself. After all, you can find all sorts of information about just about anything in convenient eBook downloads.
If you don't know what an eBook is, it's a book in electronic form. You purchase it online and download it to your computer - no sifting through blog entries to pick and choose the information you want to read. You can read it from the computer or print it out - your preference.
Why would you write an eBook instead of blogging for money? First, you don't necessarily have to do one instead of the other - you can do both. But if you're tired of blogging, writing an eBook is an excellent alternative.
To keep your blog rankings high, you need to update often. Most of us can't get away with doing a feeble entry once in awhile and expect that to work well. So we have to always be on the lookout for new information that we can add to the blog, have guest writers we can invite to blog, or even pay a ghostwriter to develop the content for the blogs because it's just too time consuming to do ourselves!
Let's face it - the majority of blogs just don't make all that much money unless you're savvy and personable like Perez Hilton or another identity who has made their living from being a blog persona.
When you write an eBook, you have a digital product that you put up for sale, and from that one-time effort of writing the eBook, you stand to make tons of sales. The monetary return on your effort is going to be much greater than it will be for blogging, where you have to watch as your AdSense income slowly builds.
Now, if you truly like to blog, there's no reason why you would have to give it up. Blogging and writing eBooks can go together nicely. You can promote your eBook right from your blog and allow your customers to interact with you there. Just remember that the return for your effort is probably going to be much, much higher with the eBook.
If you have a subject you're passionate about (maybe what your blog is about), you can write about that. Or you can find out what's hot right now and write an eBook about that - ride the wave of what's currently on people's minds.
You have nothing to lose by writing an eBook, and an awful lot to gain. Blogging is still a great thing to do. It's great for getting information out there and for getting your name and face out there, too. It can be instrumental in business ventures. But if you're tired of blogging - write an eBook!
If you want to write an eBook, there's no better time than right now to get started. Find an excellent resource that outlines just what you need to do like the one at http://www.Guide2eBooks.com - which was written by the Ghostwriter to the Gurus. |
